Housing Associations & FOISA

Many housing associations already utilise the services of an out-sourced Data Protection Officer – usually, because of the volume of personal data and special category data they process, or, because they want to be seen to be ‘getting it right’.

Training for Housing Associations

We have a 2 hour FOISA 2002 and EIR 2004 training presentation tailored, specifically, for Housing Associations / RSLs – this can be delivered at your premises to your Board, Trustees, Senior Management Team, Staff – of a combination of all – anyone that might receive an FOI request.

To see how and when we can begin to implement this for you, contact us – November is only 6 months away – but this gives you time to prepare!!

We can bring our training to you, the benefits in doing this are:

Convenient – We can present at the location of your choice, at a time that is suitable for all your participants. This also means less time out of the office!

Our virtual Data Protection Officer (DPO) services include;

Optional facility to “share” a DPO with other linked organisation or group of companies etc.

At an initial meeting we would undertake a mini-audit and an assessment of your needs, which will help you guage your current level of risk and decide the steps which will manage that risk. Based on this meeting we will be able to quote a price for our services and if you decide to proceed we will carry out a full data protection healthcheck and agree a programme of work with you.

Still getting messages with excellent feedback on the day. It was great to have GDPR tailored for us

Jane Harris, Scottish Genealogy Network

Tim Musson is knowledgeable and presents useful content in a relaxed and friendly manner, with helpful examples and suggestions along the way

David delivers an ‘Introduction to data protection and GDPR’ course for the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisation’s training programme. He developed a course programme tailored for charities and third sector organisations that covers the principles of GDPR. Delegates have appreciated David’s ability to give helpful examples and make a complex issue easier to understand

I attended GDPR training delivered by David and it was absolutely fantastic. I have to admit, I was slightly dreading it as I thought it would be dry, boring and confusing. I’m still not sure how he did it but David managed to make the material easy to understand. I’d highly recommend him as a trainer

Rebecca Giblin, Marketing, Fundraising and Admin Manager, 3rd sector

Thank you very much for taking time to speak with me. Your help and guidance is very much appreciated and has put my mind at rest

Rachel Rodgers, Managing Partner, Linda George Family Law

So often CPD training does no more than run through the relevant legislation. Tim’s ‘Preparing for the GDPR’ session was much more helpful – providing careful consideration of how the new Regulation might be interpreted and applied in practice

Everyone has indicated to me that they found the training very useful and were pleased to have attended

Feedback on a session for in-house solicitors at a public authority

David provided a fantastic, bespoke, GDPR workshop for myself and two other team members. The session was very informative and his presentation style was very engaging. David gave us clearly defined steps to move forward as a small charity to ensure we are compliant

Rebecca Innes, Museum Development Officer at the Tall Ship at Riverside

A really useful walk through the regulation

Susan Peart, Solicitor, Scottish Social Services Council

Just a massive thanks for what was, pound for pound, the best CPD hours I’ve done during 10 years’ practice in 5 different jurisdictions. Lots of enormously helpful stuff for me to bring back to the company. I have three years’ in-house experience dealing with client-facing multinational data protection issues
